And the Tears

For all the rain that has fell from the skies For all the pain that has formed in my eyes For every mountain that I've had to climb Lord I thank you for all my trials For every step backwards that I have taken For every blessing that I've forsaken For every time you've helped me realize the truth Lord I thank you Every plunge I've made through the years Every time I've hidden from my fears Thank you for drying the eyes of the weary Thank you for the pain and the tears For without these tears I wouldn't know true pain Without my struggles I'd have little to gain Lord if not for your test I wouldn't be head strong Life wouldn't be worth living if nothing went wrong For I know I can only receive true happiness through you Because after all the test, trials, and tribulations I go through I know you only do this to benefit my mind, body, and spirit So thank you for the pain and the Tears -By Cathryn Brooks AKA Kitty This poem

This poem is dedicated to anyone who wants to know why God is testing you. He's testing you to make you stronger and to get you ready for what's coming next. He's testing you so that you can stand in the time of a storm. Don't question his excellence, or his wisdom. Accept his test and try your best to pass them.

Human Nature

Sometimes people are just too proud to let people help them. Sometimes people are too proud to say sorry when they know they're at fault for something. Sometimes people hold up that brick wall to there hearts and won't allow love in. Why? I know I'm just a naturally emotional person and that the ease of expressing my emotions is not something other people have readily accessible. But one thing I do want to get straight is that I am not a pushover because of these emotions. I am simply human. It's programmed into everyone at some point in there life to be lovestruck, to help someone, and to eventually hurt someone. We can only hope that in our time of need we too will receive love and sacrifice from another human being. I was talking to my sister the other day and for some reason she thinks that people should make a life for themselves without help from anyone else. I just don't see how that would be possible. There's a lot more good in this world than what people presume. And along with that good comes help from people,whether strangers or otherwise. Any little thing people can do even something as simple as holding open a door for someone is warranted at any moment in time. People pleasantly surprise one another every minute of every day. I think the most salient factor in life is to help and give to people even when you know it won't benefit you in any way.God wants us to be human, to hurt...to cry...to aspire...to help...to care...to love. I'm just thinking where would our species be without compassion. Where would all the great nations of the world be Today...if no one ever loved and cared for someone else. Sure we hurt each other, but we heal and we love again. Hurt only makes us stronger....teaches us lessons

I think I'm rambling a lot but to exemplify my point....there was a show about secret millionaires and from the preview of the show I deduced that the millionaires would be giving large sums of money to people who were deserving of it. One of the people given this money responded...'do you know how many people I can help with this money?' it was a pivotal point in my journey to womanhood. I want to help people and I don't want anything from them. I want people to look at me and say she does all she can to uplift a dying human spirit. I want people to see me as someone who cares about everyone.

Please don't think I'm a hippie, tree hugger type of person...because I'm not. I just have undying faith in love and the human capacity to receive and give it...I believe it's limitless.
